Just as a counterpoint to all the serial whining that goes on, I'll go on record to say BF3 is an amazing game, more so since the DLC has come out. There is something for everyone in the game, be their itch big maps, little maps, vehicles or infantry, we've never had it so good. On a scale of money vs hours spent, it blows anything i've bought out the water. Reply0

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP MAKING ME SET UP MY TEAM EVERY SINGLE TIME I PLAY AN ONLINE MATCH IN FIFA.

I play the same formation and team every time and i've had to set it up over 600 times in the last year. I've got to the point where i have, through trial and error, figured out the optimal solution for setting out my team with the fewest moves possible(38 stick-flicks and 12 button presses).

A hefty percentage of BF players just love to have themselves a big old moan. These packs freshen up the game and by the time they are all out we'll have a massive amount of variety and options when it comes to how you want to play BF3. £70 for 2 years and probably about 700 hrs of gameplay by the time BF4 comes out represents 1p per hour, an absolute bargain in anyones' book.

Dice should definitely be providing a bunch of vanilla servers but on the other points: seeing as PC have always had rented servers for every BF game does that mean it's been fundamentally broken since 1942?
Favourite good servers and avoid ones with admin rules - this isn't rocket science. Reply+1

Will the patch address quest glitches, i can't get any further in the thieves guild line cos i can't talk to enthir. I've abandoned it now but got too many hours racked up to go back to an earlier save. Reply+2

EA do seems to be improving, you couldn't get a game of 1943 for 3 days, BC2 for 2 days, at least with BF3 you could get a game here and there on launch. I reckon by the time we see BF4/BC3 EA might have cottoned on the the fact that being cheap bastards and not having enough servers on day 0 is only hurting their games. Reply+1

R6:Vegas is the only game i've played where everyone had to work together over comms. Can't think of one other game where 'no-mics' would be booted out in the lobby. Played some tight crews in Streets. Reply+1
